Are you a foreigner? I thought you were American. Also, what is your bank account number and password?

Europeans should spend more time worrying about what their new replacements think of them instead of America or Trump. Americans aren't the ones stabbing them in shopping centers and reducing their tween daughters to mash on concert floors.

Just remember to feed your nephew halal-approved food when you babysit your sister's Muslim son.

I am just saying. Here in America, we have these women who wear their hair and dress in such a way that screams "I'm white but my children won't be". Something similar is going on in Europe. Maybe you just need some distance.

It's your business, though. We are just making fun of you.

My point isn't "oh noes the mean old euros don't like us anymore", it's that losing international trust and goodwill makes the whole "hegemonic" part of being a hegemonic empire break down. Suppose, instead of pursuing a trade deal with the states, the EU instead ops to pursue that deal with China instead. China is belligerent, sure, but maybe the Europeans would be willing to accept that to not have to deal with the Americans. Maybe even they want to punish the Americans a little, show us we're not so special are centrally important as we thought.

Loss of prestige translates to loss of opportunity. We'll still have power, but without the quid pro quos that circulate international trade in our favor, you have no right to be surprised when our former allies decide to leave us in the cold for warmer relations elsewhere. It's a two-way street,when you turn your back on your friends, you don't get to be indignant when they turn their backs on you in return.

Also, start waving the nuke dick around too much, and they may even start talking about "containing" the rogue US state with a slew of alliances against us...
